Abstract
The factors related to job insecurity have been the focus of increasing academic and popular attention. In this study, based on the conservation of resources perspective of job insecurity, we focus on the association of employees' belief in a just world and their perceived job insecurity in the context of Africa. As expected, we found that employees' just world belief was negatively associated with their perceived qualitative and quantitative job insecurity via the statistically mediating roles of self-efficacy and organizational justice. This research may enlighten our understanding of the psychological factors related to job insecurity, and also provide support for both job insecurity and justice belief literature in a more extended cultural domain.
